The pact further solidifies National Van Lines’ Houston, TX marketplace presence, where the organization offers three relocation agents to consumers seeking to move across the country.

Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage started in 1969 when Johnnie T. Melia Jr. forged his career path after working as a teen in his father’s warehouse. Johnnie passed away December 2017 at age 72. His son, Brandon, now owns and operates the company.

“We were saddened when we lost Johnnie,” said Ben Jude, National Van Lines Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Agency Development. “In addition to being a valued member of the National Van Lines family, he was an exceptional businessman and outstanding dad and grandfather who conducted his life with integrity and pride.

“Brandon Melia is poised to expand the company while adhering to the time-honored values the Melia family always has embraced,” Ben said. “We at National Van Lines are proud to have Johnnie T. Melia Moving & Storage as an agent and look forward to many years together.”
